English Fury Learning Academy!

Hello, and thanks for visiting my page! I'm glad the Universe tilted you my way to learn a bit more about me! I'm a natural, vegan, year-round-flip-flops wearing, teacher, seeker, yogi, meditator, writer and Edupreneur.

In addition to writing, I've designed a learning academy specifically for Advanced Academics teachers and students, and I recently developed a reading and writing literacy program for teens called "Brown Teens Read."

Although I write for the very reason i breathe, I've grown to love teaching with just as much passion! I teach Advanced Placement (AP) English Literature and Composition 4 (Seniors), and International Baccalaureate (IB) English A: Literature and Composition, Year 1 (Juniors) and Year 2 (Seniors). I love every moment and wouldn't trade what I do as a writer and teacher for any other career!

Please take a moment and visit my academic website to learn more about what I do as a teacher, confidant and motivator for my students!

"ms. d. infuses her knowledge of literature and language into relatable bits for students. Her insight then becomes a most valuable asset to their progress." —Leisha Woods, Former Administrator and Mentor

"I admire my teacher for her effort in trying to LEAD us instead of GIVING us easy grades or assignments. I appreciate those efforts because in the real world, nothing is easy; it's always a competition for something! I got out of my Advanced Placement class because I heard your class was more strict and routine. I think that was by far the best decision I've made during my senior year. I'm not afraid to admit that I need help in English. But ever since I've been in your class, I feel I've gotten the help that I needed." —K. Alabi, Student

"Being in this class has expanded my horizon in many ways. It is one thing to tell, one thing to teach and a whole other thing to involve me into what we are doing like you do. Like our last lesson about poems, I would have never really understood what different types of poems meant or how to analyze them if you would have never modeled for us your own example and made us do that poetry book." —U. Boynton, Student

"“The individual feedback you give help students to be more focused on the task. Students’ writing is vivid and strong. Good job with infusing voice in their writing.” ​—Stephanie Boyce, former Administrator

“…walked in room and saw a first. You were outside your room giving directions and support to one group while the rest were inside working. This was differentiated support in motion. Good job. You always engage students in lessons that capture the imagination of students.” —Joseph Showell, Principal

“Excellent feedback given to the group that discussed the entry document for the PBL. The young man clearly has been listening to your teachings about the difference in “showing” not “telling.” Your praise and encouragement motivated him to speak more within his group discussion!” —Leisha Woods, Former Administrator and Mentor
